Wow Where do I start?.. Well for my likes,Motorcycles, Bowling(Yeah, I roll 300's) and Pool are my sports. I am a father of 2 girls, who are completely the reason why I breathe.. My girls have inspired me to be the best in life at all things, not from the moment they were born, but from the moment they were conceived. Being a dad is the quintessential favorite part of my life. I also have a fascination with rescue and law enforcement. I was hired as a full-time fire rescuer the same week I was hired as an on call (not even part-time) radio personality. It’s obvious that I chose radio, and it indeed has been good to me, more so than I am to it. Radio broadcasting has always been my passion and was ultimately birthed into me by my late father who worked in radio for almost 50 years. So I guess you can say I got it honestly. I can truly say that I am blessed beyond measure to have such a great career, which allows me to experience so much the average person will probably never do or see. I am truly grateful to God for this dream now reality lifestyle that I am blessed to have...To Him be The Glory...
The Father, Teacher & Mentor The Hero... RICHARD EARL PEGUE JR.....
YOU TOLD ME YOUR WERE PROUD TO HAVE ME AS YOUR SON, BUT I AM EVEN MORE PROUD TO STILL CALL YOU MY FATHER..
TRIBUTE TO MY FATHER, HOW I MISS HIM SO. I ONLY HOPE A PRAY TO BE ABLE TO LIVE UP TO A SMALL PERCENTAGE OF YOUR LEGACY. YOU TAUGHT ME THE WORLD IN YOUR OWN WAY, FROM YOUR VIEW POINT, WHICH HAD NO LIMITS. YOU ALLOWED ME THE APPRECIATION TO WORK FOR MY OWN, YET YOU HANDED ME THE SKILL AND KNOW HOW BY ALLOWING ME TO WATCH YOU BE AMAZING. AT THE AGE OF 6 YEARS OLD, I KNEW I WANTED TO WALK IN YOUR SHOES. THEY STILL REMAIN TO BE BIG SHOES TO FILL. I REMEMBER WHEN YOU ASKED ABOUT SOMETHING I DID OVER THE AIR, AND YOU TOLD ME HOW IMPRESSED YOU WERE, AND HOW YOU WANTED TO BUY ME A BOTTLE OF CHAMPAIGN TO CELEBRATE IT. THAT MEANT THE WORLD TO ME. NOT ONLY WAS I PLEASING TO THE WORLD'S GREATEST RADIO PERSONALITY/ MUSIC HISTORIAN, BUT I WAS WELL PLEASING IN THE EYES OF MY FATHER, LIKE JESUS WAS TO THE HEAVENLY FATHER. BECAUSE OF THAT, I KNOW I'VE DONE WELL. I'VE GOTTEN THE THUMBS UP FROM SO MANY WHO HAVE CONTINUED TO PAVE THE WAY FOR US NEWCOMERS, LIKE IRENE, RAMONE, GLEN COSBY, JOE SOTO, DOUG BANKS, RICK PARTY, TROI TYLER, EFFFIE ROLPHE, AND SO MANY MORE PEOPLE I'VE HAD THE PLEASURE TO WORK WITH, BUT WHAT THEY SEE IS YOU, NOT ME. SO FOR THAT I THANK YOU DAD. I ONCE SAID TO YOU, THAT GROWING UP I WAS A SPOILED CHILD, YOU CORRECTED ME AND TOLD ME I WASN'T SPOILED, BUT WAS WELL TAKEN CARE OF. YES, YES I WAS. I LOVE MY KIDS BETTER BECAUSE OF YOUR LOVE FOR ME, SO THANK YOU DAD. THANK YOU FOR BEING EXACTLY THE FATHER I NEEDED TO HELP ME BECOME THE MAN I AM. IT IS A PRIVILEGE AND AN HONOR, TO PROUDLY SAY, RICHARD PEGUE (YOU GOT A FUNNY NAME) AND I GOT IT TOO.. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH DAD, FRIEND, MENTOR, FATHER... I'LL SEE YOU SOON MAN...
THE GREAT RICHARD PEGUE SR. (MY GRANDAD) IF ANYONE KNOWS ME WELL ENOUGH, YOU KNOW THAT I CONCIDER MYSELF TO BE AN HONORARY POLICE OFFICER. IT'S AMAZING HOW I DESIRED TO BE LIKE BOTH OF THESE GREAT MEN.

BRITNI ELISE "SATISFIED" WHAT AN INCREDIBLY SEXY GIRL.
Today singer Usher, his ex-wife Tameka Foster-Raymond and biological dad Ryan Glover, family and friends laid their son Kile Glover to rest today.
Glover passed away last Saturday after his heart failed when he was removed from life support.
Glover was struck by a jet ski on Atlanta's Lake Lanier on July 6 while riding an inner tube with a friend. He was immediately airlifted to the hospital, where doctors pronounced him brain-dead. Glover was removed from life support last weekend, after his family previously issued statements asking fans for their prayers.
Recently Tameka took to her Twitter account to thank fans for their outpouring support.
"I appreciate the hundreds, perhaps thousands of prayers. I'm so grateful to you guys. Kile was the most fun, creative, sweet, respectful boy" Tameka tweeted. "Our goal [is] to increase water safety- thru implementing laws, policies & education. Kile's passing will not be in vain, we will see to this."
"We know God's in control, and are leaning on our faith in Him and His word at this most difficult time," the family said in a statement following the accident. "We firmly believe in the power of prayer and ask that you all continue to pray and lift Kile up, as it's the best way we can all support him now."
The man driving the Jet Ski that struck Glover was identified as 38-year-old family friend Jeffrey S. Hubbard. Police have not decided to press any charges so far. A second victim, a 15-year-old girl, was also injured in the accident, but she's said to be recovering after suffering from a broken arm and a cut on the head.
